All full up - ADVISE PLEASE!

I've got a MacBook Pro with a 120Gb HD and it's almost full. I've got about 3-4Gb of space left. I know it's bad to run so low but there's not much I can do. I have backed everything up but I'm reluctant to delete things as it's mainly photos and videos taking up the bulk of the space.

Please can someone advise me as to what I should do - I can't afford to buy a new larger capacity MBP and transfer. Can I upgrade my current MBP? Is there anything else sensible I can do? I've pretty much slimmed down my HD as far as it can go with all the tips and tricks.

Please help. I can't put anything else on my laptop.

Firstly...you can most definitely remove some or most of those photos & videos from your MacBook Pro's hard drive if they're backed up. If it makes you feel better...make two external backups of those files. Burn them to a CD or DVD for backup purposes.

There's really no need to have EVERY file you have present on your internal drive if you don't use them often.

Second. You can most definitely upgrade your MacBook Pro's HD...very easy to replace.

Thanks so much everyone for the great advice. I didn't realise I could get my internal hard drive upgraded. I have a 15" MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - Purchased December 2006 so not a unibody.

I would value any advice on a good drive. Can I get larger than a 500gb, as I heard it wasn't wise for my MBP?
